Although every one of us reads at different speeds and interests, plan to complete and review 3 books each quarter. If you are reading books that are very long, or feel unable to hit this target, please speak with me and we can work something out.
This assignment is meant to be a fun way to learn about what we are reading as a community of readers and writers.
Readers who are clearly putting in significant time outside of school to develop a lifelong relationship with reading, can show this by completing additional reviews. Students that show this exemplary achievement in their reading with 4 or more quality reviews of books considered at the high end of the 6th grade level may be awarded an E on this LT.
Reviews should be written from your Goodreads profile, and then copied and pasted into our group. Make sure you follow the proper format for titling your posts:
Title by Author (Qtr2, #_, __/__)
ex. Divergent by Veronica Roth (Qtr2, #1, 11/04)
If you are using the desktop version of the site, then you may embed your review in a post. See youtube or other resources for information on doing so.
Please feel free to comment on your classmates' reviews, but make sure that you are being responsible and adding to the conversation. Show good stewardship online by not creating useless content and/or comment threads.
Your LT1 grade for Reader's Workshop will be determined by observation of your reading in class, as well as the book reviews you add to this site.
Please refer to the rubric for guidance on writing these reviews.
